“The 5G Infrastructure Public Private Partnership, in short 5G PPP, has been initiated by the EU Commission and industry manufacturers, telecommunications operators, service providers, SMEs and researchers. The 5G PPP will deliver solutions, architectures, technologies and standards for the ubiquitous next generation communication infrastructures of the coming decade.

Key challenges for the 5G Infrastructure PPP:

Providing 1000 times higher wireless area capacity and more varied service capabilities compared to 2010

Saving up to 90% of energy per service provided. The main focus will be in mobile communication networks where the dominating energy consumption comes from the radio access network

Reducing the average service creation time cycle from 90 hours to 90 minutes

Creating a secure, reliable and dependable Internet with a “zero perceived” downtime for services provision

Facilitating very dense deployments of wireless communication links to connect over 7 trillion wireless devices serving over 7 billion people

Ensuring for everyone and everywhere the access to a wider panel of services and applications at lower cost”
